JAMSTERDAM Are you ready to sweat? Throw your elbows away and twist your lower body. You need to find freedom in your torso before moulding the first 3 moves together. Track 13, Fracture and it’s time to slooooow your body down. Find MASSIVE expansion through your chest, then feel the pause and space as you hang in the air. You need to use the legs to jump and draw the feet together in the ¾ turn. This will help you turn fast, before landing wide and low in the legs. Watch out for the rhythm change in Track 14. We now use 4 full counts in the jump phase of the ballet sequence. That is, you need to fill the music with movement using long lines, power and height, then cue the Arm Circle Combo!

When it comes to mixing up past releases, you can teach back as far as BODYJAM 32, with some exceptions: Many of the older BODYJAM blocks have a considerably higher complexity level that will be out of reach for many new members in your class. If you teach the more complex routines from past releases, you will inevitably alienate new participants, and they will be unlikely to come back.

30-MINUTE OPTION 2 Track 1 Warmup Track 3 Dancehall Tracks 12–16 Jamsterdam Total Time 29:28 45-MINUTE Track 1 Tracks 4–10 Tracks 12–16 Total Time

Warmup Hip Hop Jamsterdam 43:19

NOTE: There is no Groovedown in most express format options. Please advise participants to keep moving around after the class until their breathing and heart rate return to normal and to do their own stretches to assist their recovery. The 30 and 45-minute class formats have been customized for this release.

KEY F forward B back L left mins minutes O/H over head OTS on the spot R right Xreps perform the Sequence/Exercise x times This move is featured in the new move videos.

For example, blocks to avoid: BODYJAM 37 Jazz Rock BODYJAM 38 Latin Block BODYJAM 39 Dance 4 Life BODYJAM 40 Jive & Swing, Krump Club BODYJAM 43 Disco Cardio BODYJAM 46 Tribal Explosion BODYJAM 49 Street Jazz If you have a more advanced audience who you have taught these routines to over many years, then maybe you can pull out one of these blocks once every six months. But if, like me, you have a bunch of new people in each class you teach, then I strongly suggest you avoid these blocks with higher complexity. However, there are some incredible older tracks, full of magic and simple, pure dance feel: BODYJAM 41 La Bomba, BODYJAM 33 Hey Mama, BODYJAM 42 Jam De Podium, and who could forget the Battle from BODYJAM 32! Pick and choose your tracks carefully and you will have the floor on fire every week.

JAM JAM JAMSTERDAM is what we call boomin’ Hip Hop fused with Dancehall fire; a mix of Sneaky Geezy and a whole lot of European love. A huge thank-you to all who made it to this historical filming, turning that round stage into a red-light dance party like no other. Track 1 warms us up at level 11 (it only goes up to 10, remember) with GUITARS! How often do we have guitars in Jam? Not often, says Gandalf – so enjoy that humongo drop.

Gandalf “G” Archer Mills (New Zealand) is Program Director for BODYJAM. He is based in Auckland and has dedicated his life to dance, performance and teaching. Philip Harrison (UK) is a BODYJAM, BODYCOMBAT and SH’BAM Trainer. Shey Shehovich (UK) is a BODYJAM, BODYCOMBAT and SH’BAM Trainer and a CXWORX Instructor.

Then Track 2 is an Unforgettable remix of that Rap/Moombah/Reggaeton heater you have heard on the radio all year. Last pun of the sizzler, I promise. Big Illy Philly takes you through even more Dancehall with the classic jam We Be Burnin’, then our HIP HOP block this release is a beautiful mash of modern, sharp, Salsa bounce, and twerky twerk. Grrrrrrrr is huge, Don’t Quit will have you singing your way through the learning, then this new fire Badam is totally different from what you’re used to. Questions takes it back to radio land, before Wobble & Jiggle brings the house down (and your butt 'round). Sassy McSass Pants floats us through the Recovery like your whole body is made out of lollipop, before the HUGE sounds of JAMSTERDAM take over. Annihilate sounds exactly how it… ummmm… sounds. Fracture is slow and beautiful for the learning phase of the trickiest combo, then Scream lets you put it all together while your class participates in a non-stop… crap, sorry I know I said no more puns, but it’s me, and well, here goes…. SCREAM. The last two tracks of the JAMSTERDAM block are designed for space – for your class to relax and sink into the journey which perfect musical interpretation combined with dance can create. Keep your voice to a minimum and let the textural contrast take over. There is so much in this new release to keep your class coming back for more. Remember, you don’t have to teach the full release at once – start with a block, or even a routine, and let the new choreography grow organically through your class till everyone is an addict.

Choosing, licensing and matching choreography to the right music is a huge challenge! We screen the music we use and try to avoid language and references that may cause offense. If we can, sometimes there will be an alternative track (at the bottom of the track list) for you to use instead. We embrace open communication with our global family so differences of opinion can be expressed, and compromises reached. Above all, we are passionate about delivering life-changing fitness experiences, every time, everywhere. BE LOUD AND HEARD Tell us what you think of this release. Visit lesmills.com/BLAH
